{"product_id":"suite-no-1-fred-emory-smith","title":"Smith, F.-Suite #1 (SP)-B\/C\/X\/M\/4T\/P","description":"Suite No. 1 by Fred Emory Smith is a percussion ensemble piece scored for 5 players. Shifting time signatures and some well placed but tricky rest figures will push intermediate players while keeping more advanced players on their toes. This piece makes use of a rhythmic motif in 4\/4 time that is later explored in 7\/8 time. Although not bombastic in nature, the work is certainly high in energy. A middle section turns lyrical and smooth until the drums take over once again. Conversational elements are present throughout, and the timpani part in particular will require a player who is comfortable carrying some small solo responsibilities. Occasional multitasking is also required. This is a piece that could easily fit anywhere in your concert program where a slightly elevated heart rate is required!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuration: 4'30\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1 - snare drum, 4.3 octave marimba, tam tam (shared with player 3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2 - glockenspiel, 4 concert toms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3 - tambourine, temple blocks, tam tam (shared with player 1), triangle, suspended cymbal, crash cymbal slave, shaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4 - concert bass drum, chimes ride cymbal, xylophone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5 - four timpani","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826884542518,"sku":"TSPCE-55","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/smith-f-suite-1-sp-b-c-x-m-4t-p.jpg?v=1773488052","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/suite-no-1-fred-emory-smith","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
